Tulsi Gabbard is an American politician and U.S. military officer who has served as the eighth director of national intelligence since 2025. She previously served as U.S. representative for Hawaii’s 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021 and in the Hawaii House of Representatives from 2002 to 2004. Wikipedia. Lot of turnover in that job.

I hope he will be okay, but I know this will be tough.

I would like her to stay.

Hopefully she chose wisely in her backup who will have hit the ground running. He needs to have the same fire in his belly as Tulsi has. There are a lot of saboteurs hiding out in intelligence.

MKULTRA and other programs figured out how to give people cancer with various viruses.

The CIA didn’t like her.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone did this on purpose. That’s how dirty they are.

I’m pissed. 🤬🤬🤬Erik Erickson in his usual delusional insider knowledge said Tulsi was on her way out for the last month because Trump was inquiring about a replacement. I want him recognized as the loser he is. I hope other “insiders” leak information to prove my point.
Prayers up for what Tulsi and her husband for this painful bone cancer journey will bring.

I could be wrong, but her resignation/leaving was influenced by Trump firing her best friend, Bondi.

I’m surprised she held out so long as Trump basically IGNORED HER and instead sided with the Neocons, something he all but promised to NOT do during his campaigning.

That’s certainly an honorable reason to resign. I hope that in her announcement she made at least a brief comment that she was honored to have been appointed by DJT.

Rare cancers are often very difficult to manage. Such patients often have to resort to experimental drugs and treatments at cancer research centers.

She did thank the President for entrusting the job to her.

So sad. Good luck, Tulsi. My next door elderly neighbor contracted a rare form of cancer. Unfortunately, he didn’t live long. Then my neighbor behind me contracted a rare form of cancer but with treatment he’s going on strong. My thought is what’s in the water around here.
